Natalie Jackson, co-counsel for the family of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin accused the nearly all white jury that acquitted George Zimmerman in the February 26, 2012 shooting death of Martin in Sanford, Florida of viewing Martin as the black boogeyman everybody is afraid of.

The jury was comprised of five white women and one mixed race woman believed to be black-Hispanic.

Jackson made the racially inflammatory charge in an interview with Bright House Networks CFNEws 13, a cable TV news channel serving central Florida, broadcast on Wednesday.

Jackson criticized juror B-37, who spoke out this week on CNN, for not identifying with Trayvon Martin as her own child. Jackson compared the jurors lack of identifying with the 511 158 pound athletic 17 year old black male to the universal sentiment for two year old Caylee Anthony, a central Florida white female found murdered in 2008 whose case similarly garnered obsessive national attention.

While Jackson said everyone has to accept the jurys verdict, she accused the jury of racism and basing their decision on emotional elements. Jackson accused juror B-37 specifically of deciding the case on other things besides the law for stating her opinion of Zimmerman as a good person.

Asked what she thought changed the jury to vote not guilty after the initial vote of three for acquittal, two for manslaughter and one for second degree murder, and what was missing in the prosecutions case, Jackson said, I think there was not a real dialogue on race. I think that the fact that race played a part in this and how even when it came down to the defense putting on a witness who talked about crime at her house, being burglarized in 2011 (note: by two black males while the white woman resident hid in the house with her young child), and that was associated with Trayvon, a person George Zimmerman didnt even know, that you know to me that, that brought it in. You have a picture of Trayvon shirtless that was shown to the juryan upshot of a 17 year old body shirtless. You have silhouettes of a hoodie person and silhouettes of George Zimmerman. And that silhouette looked hulking over George Zimmerman. And it was, it was the black boogeyman that everybodys afraid of.

Jackson was asked about her expressed confidence before the trial that an all-white jury would convict Zimmerman and what she thinks about that now.

Ive always thought it was, Ive always thought that (the racial make-up of the jury would matter.) The reason I wanted a white jury was because I wanted to see how far weve come in America. If people would base their evidence on the information that was presented in trial and base it on the common sense of this case, because I thought if they did that then surely George Zimmerman would be convicted.

Asked what that meant about America, Jackson said, I think were seeing it with the demonstrations. I think were seeing that people are not happy with the justice system, theyre not happy with the way that young black males are thought of in this case. And thats why it was important to have a white jury. It was important for America to see that people who said, Surely you cant do this! you know, they need to see where we are. This is not a powere not in a post-racial society. Race certainly plays a part in everything that we do in life. And so now, that was to me the reason I wanted the white jury. It was the tough discussion. It was either the confirmation or the disappointment. And many people got the disappointment. And now, lets talk about it.

While expressing support for the prosecution in the interview, Jackson went on to reiterate her criticism of the prosecution for taking race out of the case. Jackson also made more direct her accusation that the defense engaged in race-baiting.

The one thing that Ive said was missing and Ive already told you that of this case was that the element of race was taken out. And the only person that presented an element of race was the defense and they presented the scary boogeyman black boy to the jury. So I think that if there was any tactical mistake it was that mistake.

Jackson then went on to accuse the jurors of being liars and racists, I will submit to you all of them will say that race played no part in this case when we all know that it did.

Jacksons blasting of the jury as racist follows softer attacks on the jury made by two of her co-counsels in interviews with Greta Van Susteren, host of the Fox News Channel show On the Record. As an experienced trial attorney, Van Susteren was quite upset with her guests attacks on the jury.

Jasmine Rand told Van Susteren she considers herself a social engineer more than a lawyer as her reason for seeking to overturn the verdict by rabblerousing for federal prosecution of Zimmerman.

In a subsequent interview with Van Susteren, Daryl Parks attacked juror B-37 over her statements to CNN.

Parks is co-founder of Parks & Crump, the firm representing the Martin family. Rand works for Parks & Crump. Jackson is an independent attorney based in Orlando.

Tracy Martin was an ex gang banger(Goes by the street name “Fruit”) and Trayvon’s Mom left him in the care of his gang banging Crip aunt at the age of 2..no wonder Trayvon became what he became, he was destined to be a gang banging thug from the moment he was born

The black hustlers will milk this for all it's worth. The liberal politicians will, too. All uniting on the meme that America is a hateful, racist nation where blacks fear for their lives. The intent is to stir white guilt and get more government 'programs'. This racial BS supposedly justifies these giveaways.

I'm fed up with being called 'racist' just because I'm not black or disagree with Obama or think George Zimmerman acted in self defense. These race pimps have totally distorted the reality of the Zimmerman-Martin incident and conjured up a fabricated story where Travon Martin died solely due to 'being black' instead of the fact that Martin had assaulted and was beating down Zimmerman, who was on his back but armed and used his gun to defend himself.

This attorney is full of it and basically trying to blame the jury and pretend they voted not guilty due to Martin being black and Zimmerman being, well, not black. Absurd and hardly worth taking seriously at this point.

Quite a turnout for those nationwide rallies...fizzle fizzle for St. Skittles / sarc

Per Drudge: Miami to LA: Hundreds turn out for Trayvon rallies...

‘Justice for Trayvon’ DC: Boycott Disneyland

The approximately 500 Justice For Trayvon protesters in Washington, D.C., on Saturday heard calls from progressive speakers for specific boycott actions they want to use force Florida and other states to eliminate Stand Your Ground laws.

The thug was on suspension from school because he was found to have women's jewelry that was stolen in his backpack along with a large screwdriver the Police called a “burglary tool”. These facts were kept out of evidence.

(The nightmare will continue as long as the nightmare is in the Whitehouse.)

The gravy train they anticipated went off the rails and into the abys with the not guilty verdict. They’re done in Florida. By law, civil is DOA with a not guilty verdict. Unless the DOJ can pull a rabbit out of the FBI’s ass, they’re running ou of steam fast.

So what I’m hearing from these morons is that if there had been a black person on that jury, Zimmerman would have had a different verdict - not based on evidence - but race. So, then tell me who are the real racists in this situation?

an aspiring gangster thug, who was correctly profiled as the neighborhood thug who had been breaking into homes in the area who then attacked a poor man trying to help his neighbors forcing him to defend himself with deadly force.

A betrayed youth, too. Betrayed by his parents. When he was ~2 his father started cheating on his mother. When TM was 3 his father, Tracy, divorced Sybrina in order to marry the co-homewrecker, Alicia. Incredibly, Sybrina handed her beautiful, innocent toddler over to Alicia—a woman TM didn’t know from Adam.

What kind of mother does that? How cd she look into the scared, tearful eyes of her precious baby & hand him to a stranger?????

Against all odds, TM bonded w Alicia. She treated him as one of her own, & he did well in school & appeared to flourish.

But tomcat Tracy wasn’t done. He started cheating on Alicia w Brandi Green. He cheated for 2 yrs, & then divorced Alicia. I’m going from memory, but I believe TM was ~15 when the divorce came through.

Tracy ripped TM out of the only home he’d never known—away from the mother he loved—& handed him back over to the woman who’d rejected him: Sybrina.

& TM’s troubles began in earnest. He got into drugs, fighting & breaking & entering. He was transferred out of the good school near Sybrina’s house & into a worse school a greater distance away. In addition to 3 suspensions, he racked up truant 53 days.

Sybrina’s answer was to keep kicking TM out of her house. He usually went to live w an aunt & uncle. When his fighting & misbehavior got to be too much for them, they tried to pan him off onto Tracy.

There is an online rant of Tracy’s talking about his rage w TM. He says he’s about to go from using a belt to a closed fist—& wd need bail $ for what ensued. When cautioned by relatives, he says he needs “a drink & a lapdance”. He intimates he wd take TM along for both. The aunt TM sometimes stayed w urges him to pass TM on to them so they can add their harsh discipline to his. A great lot of wonderful choices/people TM had in his life. Oh, & Sybrina made no secret of preferring her ‘real’ son, Jaharvis, to Trayvon. How’s that for a toxic mix?

Not absolving TM. Just mentioning that the parents treated him like crap. One might say, in ref to Sybrina handing her precious child over to the co-homewrecker/a stranger, worse than crap. Slave owners were vilified [& rightly so] for splitting up families & taking children away from their parents. Now the black community is doing this to their own kids on their own volition.

Now there is a petition online at change.org for Angela Corey to investigate the jury; the petitioners believe that there was misconduct and also that one of the jurors who voted initially to convict, was intimidated by juror B37.

Unreal...

(Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option....)

This is a mixed race neighborhood watch area. There should be signage all over the place and probably is letting anyone who enters the area know they may be questioned as to their purpose being in that area..That lawyer is feeding on the MSM portayal of an exclusive “whitey” “gated” community that sits well with the socialists and “it’s all whitey’s fault”blame the honky .

Why is this being done ? If there’s an impeachment process launched citing the use of federal funds as gifts in the form of touring as guests of the president on those expensive “vacations” might be in the articles of inpeachment as well as other items there will be riots.

What an ass hat that attorney is. He must have had his head up his rear end when the evidence was presented, the trial was concluded and the jury made it decision. Where or where do those people come from, Mars?

They have had things handed to them on a platter for soooooooo long, they cannot see anything other than what they want to see. They didn’t get their way this time and now all hell to pay for those who went against their wishes.

Are they really too stupid to realize that ITS OVER? Guess that answers itslef......

What's that supposed to mean? It is not uncommon for people not to know the individuals who burglarize their homes. In fact, Zimmerman seems to have known his neighborhood pretty well, and the fact that he did not recognize Martin - who did not live there - is evidence that he had some reason to be suspicious.

Actually, feral, liberal Blacks are just like children of well-off divorced white parents who feel guilty about the divorce. Such parents coddle their children until they are devoid of character. They throw money at them hoping to make the situation better...and it NEVER works.

You can't really blame Blacks anymore than you can blame the coddled children...it's the parents who need to grow up and inject a little--no, a lot--of tough love and maturity into the situation.

What is good for Blacks in America is for them to realize that if they don't work for it...they won't get it.

If they contribute to society, society itself will reward their behavior...if not, the sugar teat is out of business!

I’ve come across some of this info as well. I will be anxious to read Jack Cashill’s book when it is released,
because he will uncover ALL of this crap.
Fulton has had an ongoing problem solved for her, and is
surely thinking of little else than how she’s not ever going to have to work again. Sorry, but you know it’s true.

Trayvon Martin is dead.
He orchestrated his own death.
Just as hundreds upon hundreds of other Black men have and do, day after day. Usually at the hands of other Black men.
The ‘’genocide’’ of Blacks in this country is one of intraracial murder and slaughter.
The vast majority of Blacks are slaughtered by other Blacks.
These racebaiting ‘’lawyers’’, racepimps, ‘’celebrities’’, politicians, liberals and others refuse to speak that which they already know: Black genocide is a Black spawned problem. They attempt to redirect blame for an endemic issue they are incapable of comprehending and one they refuse to own. To do so would reveal their utter powerlessness and lack of solutions for the problems. Should they acknowledge the truth, their influence and standing would be lost. They would become non-entities.

(A modern so-called "Conservative" is a shadow of a wisp of a vertebrate human being.)

It is certainly true. People think that b/c she got $ from the HOA & from passing a trashcan around for TM donations she’s well off. The lawyers took a big chunk of the HOA $ & the rest was split at least 2 ways. Doubt the trashcan ever amounted to that much by comparison.

Well then you have to calculate what this pair, Martin & Fulton, pay to be surrounded by lawyers all the time. A couple of them may work pro bono but others absolutely do not. Billable hrs add up w scary speed—trust me, I know.

I read somewhere that a piece of property Sybrina bought is already being foreclosed on. I don’t have the link. But it made perfect sense. She’s spent like a mad woman on clothes, travel, consultants, etc. Then there is the tax bite. I can only imagine.

She & Tracy are desperate for another big score. She’s hoping GZ wipes NBC out in his defamation suit, & then she fantasizes about stealing that cash. Mark O’Mara already said he wd get GZ immunity at the first sign of a civil suit, however. Imho, Sybrina’s gusher ran dry the day the jury announced its verdict. She better hope the Housing Authority held her job open for her. She’s gonna need it.

Anything you can imagine you can state as an absolute fact. The Zimmerman case is a prime example; in or out of court, no one has come up with a scintilla of evidence that George Zimmerman harbors animus against blacks. It’s presumed by those who are angry and some who just want to whine and complain. If America was the evil nation they want you to believe it is, they’d be getting gunned down in the streets. In the Rodney King riot in LA, 54 people were killed. Ask any liberal to name one of them or explain why they had to die.
